Lakka is a lightweight distribution which also runs on the Raspberry Pi and is able to run retro games on your big screen tv.<\/p>\n

It is able to emulate multiple old console and handhelds like the\u00a0Game Boy, the\u00a0Game Boy Advance, the\u00a0NES, the\u00a0Nintendo 64 or even the\u00a0PlayStation.<\/p>\n

I’ve installed it on my\u00a0Raspberry Pi 2 but wasn’t able to get the controllers to work (Xbox 360). Also my keyboard wasn’t working correctly with the system, so I wasn’t able to setup the controllers myself.<\/p>\n

The idea itself is pretty awesome and if it would add support for limelight<\/a>\u00a0it would be pretty much a perfect system for streaming games and playing retro games.<\/p>\n

I’ll try to get the system to run correctly some other time perhaps when it’s more stable, but at the moment I think this project has a lot of potential.<\/p>\n
